I don't remember the exact miles for the LSD. For the oil change, just follow what the screen tells you.

LSD is 2K miles, they change the fluid after break in. Oil is 10K or 1 year. Below is the maintenance book for the 2012 MY E-Class.

LSD is 1875 per the sticker on the glass of our 218 CLS and 212 E63's---- I had both my cars done by local tech as he is much cheaper than the dealer.

I think it takes about 3 of these:



On my C63 Black Series I did the oil and diff service at the same time (1800 miles or so)--- but on the E63 and CLS63 I waited until about 3500 miles for the oil and did the diff change at 1800. I drove all my cars very hard but drove my CBS extra hard and it runs up the RPM range more as its NA.

The only indicator for the diff is the clear sticker in the upper left part of your windshield and your maintenance booklet (if one has lsd).

I believe my dealer took off the clear sticker when they cleaned up the car -- it means then I have to do the diff change now.

Thanks Vic

Do you have LSD? If so and you are over 1875 miles you should do the oil swap.

Yes I do and I'm a little over 1875 miles. I'll get it done asap then.

Thanks again, Vic.

Any basic tech can do it in an indy shop for much less too:

car on lift
Loosen pressure bolt
uncap fluid and drain
fill almost 3 containers (until overflow occurs)
seal
drive

Thanks for that. I find recommendations change over time. In 2007, there was no change interval on the LSD. Also, the transmission was change once at 40k. Both are now 40k intervals.

Hello Vic. Thanks for refering. I hope you guys had a good thanksgiving. I have not talked with Serge yet, but Fletcher jones quoted me $350 for the service. Is it a ok price? If I don't do the service in the dealer, will that void any warranties? Just wondering.

Using an indy does not void the warranties. There is a law that clearly states that.

As mentioned you wont void a warranty using an indy. In fact Serge is a factory authorized MBUSA servicing agent so you should feel just as comfortable if not moreso than with a dealer. I think he can perform certain warranty items and get MBUSA to reimburse him. I do know he cant do recalls though.

350.00 is waaaaaaaay too much.
